A monoline, rounded sans with an intentionally hand-drawn finish. Strokes keep a fairly even thickness but show subtle wobble and soft corners, giving outlines a slightly irregular, organic edge. Counters are generally large and open, with circular/oval construction in letters like O, C, and G, and simplified joins throughout. Proportions feel roomy and informal, with modest differentiation between wide rounds and narrower straight-sided letters, producing a lively, uneven rhythm rather than strict mechanical consistency.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where its handmade texture can be appreciated—packaging, café menus, event flyers, posters, greeting cards, and kid-oriented or craft branding. It can also suit quotes and social graphics where an informal, friendly voice is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a sketchbook-like looseness that reads personal and unpretentious. Its gentle irregularities add charm and humor, suggesting a human voice rather than a corporate one. The light, open shapes keep it feeling airy and easygoing.
The design appears intended to capture a casual hand-lettered look while retaining the familiar structure of a simple rounded sans. Its consistent, light strokes and open counters prioritize a friendly presence and quick readability, with deliberate imperfections to avoid a rigid, geometric feel.
In text, the slightly uneven stroke edges and varying widths create a textured line that is more expressive than neutral. Round forms stay dominant, while diagonals and vertices (A, V, W, Y) are softened, avoiding sharp, aggressive points. Numerals share the same informal, hand-rendered construction and remain clear at display sizes.
